Come along to a friendly, hands-on knitting group at Chester Hill Library where craft, conversation and community meet. This is a relaxed space for parents and families to unwind, learn new skills and swap patterns while the kids are at school or entertained nearby by library resources.
You’ll find a welcoming circle of knitters at varying skill levels, from beginners learning their first cast-on to experienced crafters working on intricate patterns. The atmosphere is informal, with plenty of opportunity for conversation and practical tips on yarn, needles and stitch techniques.
• Bring your own yarn and needles, or ask about donated wool and community supplies.
• Beginners are encouraged to come early for extra help; experienced knitters happily mentor others.
• Sessions are ideal for parents wanting a calm, creative break during the school term.
Expect lots of shared ideas, troubleshooting small projects together and a chance to exchange patterns and designs. This community knitting group is as much about social connection as it is about craft, making it a great middle-aged parent-friendly library activity.
The knitting group runs during school term and meets weekly on two occasions: Monday mornings and Saturday mid-mornings. These session times suit parents juggling school runs or weekend routines and make it easy to pop in when it suits you.
Monday session: 10:00–12:00. Saturday session: 10:30–12:30. Both are free and drop-in friendly, though space and seats are shared on a first-come basis so arriving a little early helps secure a spot.
All skill levels are welcome; the group focuses on simple, achievable projects alongside more ambitious designs. Children are welcome when supervised, and the library’s family-friendly environment supports parents who want a short creative escape.
Meet at Chester Hill Library and Knowledge Centre, Chester Hill 2162 — a community hub with easy access to public transport and local parking. The library is well-signposted and situated for families in the Canterbury-Bankstown area looking for nearby activities.
Facilities include accessible toilets and nearby parking; the library layout is stroller- and wheelchair-friendly. If you need directions, the library website or local maps will point you to Chester Hill Library and Knowledge Centre.
The venue is ideal for parent meet-ups and craft groups, offering a quiet setting for knitting and chatting. Library staff can advise on the best entrance and seating areas for groups with children or mobility needs.
This program runs during the NSW school term; there are no set start or end dates listed publicly, so sessions pause during school holidays. Please check the library’s events calendar or call ahead to confirm term dates and any public holiday closures.
Donations of good-quality wool are welcomed; if you have yarn to donate please contact the library. The group is free to attend but relies on community generosity for shared supplies and project inspiration.
The knitting group is community-focused and family-friendly; parents should supervise school-aged children who attend. Photography or social media sharing may occur at events — library staff can advise if you prefer not to be included.
There is no fee to attend — the knitting group is free. Walk-ins are welcome, making this a convenient weekly craft drop-in for busy parents seeking a hobby or social connection.
While formal bookings are not required, you can call the library for updates on space or to ask about group capacity. For urgent queries or to check term dates, contact the library directly by phone or visit the local library in person.
If you’re bringing donations of wool or special requests for workshops, reach out to the library staff who coordinate community programs and can advise on upcoming craft events and resources.
